A startup doesn't have the same target of its back as a large publicly traded corporation. It also has a different culture and is expected to take risks that non-startups aren't. In other words, not an apples-to-apples comparison.
Edit: grammar.
Far more likely answer: OpenAI isn't interested in withholding a product to play political cards.
I think this is more related to american-centrism of Google - it is in their other products - e.g. Pixel phones restrict certain features to US.
So was Stadia - restricted to US at the beginning.
Also their are very slow at adding non-English languages to their offering.
